Re: no HEIGHT for SPAN in mozilla?

they have different height. how would i do this in mozilla since only
block level elements support height attribute? and blocks are not
displayed on the same line.

in IE i could get away with the simple CSS:

.red { height: 35px; background: red }
.blue { height: 25px; background: blue }

span class="red">Red</span><span class="blue">Blue</span

Height doesn't apply to non-replaced inline elements such as above, so
IE is wrong, and Mozilla right, and you shouldn't want to force this
behavior either... well, this is how I understand it. You might want to
trigger strict mode in IE6 and see how it goes, too.
